Course to highlight parlour best practice

The programme is designed to develop milkers' skills to ensure that all cows are milked effectively and efficiently.

Each course will take place over two days of training followed by a milking assessment. 

A series of short courses running this autumn will help promote best practice in the milking parlour.

The first of the sessions developed in conjunction with the expertise of Teagasc, AHI (Animal Health Ireland) and FRS Network (Farm Relief Services) will take place at Teagasc Moorepark, Fermoy, Co Cork, on August 30 and 31.
